The City of Chandler Aquatics staff encourages you to stay fit and healthy through recreational swimming. We also support youth stroke development
opportunities in the community!

Swimming is a great way to
stay fit!

We offer year-round lap swimming in the early mornings and the evenings at select facilities. And the water is heated!

We also reserve at least one lane during public swim hours for lap swimming when the competition pool is open.

The City of Chandler encourages fitness through swimming.

The intent of this program is to provide an
adult lap swim program. However,
circumstance may allow some youth and teens to participate. All children under the age of 15 will be asked to complete a 500 yard continuous (no stopping) swim test and have a swimming ability equivalent to the American Red Cross Level VI or the City of Chandler’s Marlin level.

If you would like to build endurance, work on the form or speed of your stroke, or you are training for a triathlon, please ask the staff member on deck to help reach your goal. They can assist you with a specific workout ;(from beginner to advanced) to suit your needs.

AQUA FIT

All classes are 50 minutes. Participants must be 16 years or older. Fee based on 8 classes. Drop-in fee is $5 for resident and $7 for non resident, space permitting (Drop-in participation is limited due to class size. Drop-in may not be accommodated if class registration is full).

tAQUAta Shallow: (Aqua + Tabata = tAQUAta)
This course is based off of the Tabata workout, which uses High Intensity Interval Training, to improve cardiovascular and metabolic systems. This course uses the natural resistance of shallow and deep water to power moves without impacting joints. tAQUAta offers a balanced emphasis on cardio, strength, and the core throughout the session (3.5 to 5 ft. deep)

Aqua Fit Deep: Uses deep water jogging and exercises to challenge and strengthen the entire body including the core. This class is held in 6-12 feet of water, in a vertical position, feet not touching the bottom to improve overall fitness. Flotation belts, noodles and other equipment are used but comfort in the water is recommended.

The focus of this program is to target new and previously enrolled recreation swim team participants to ensure readiness for the recreation swim team and review strokes with our returning swimmers. We are looking to help individuals develop the skills necessary to be a part of the recreation swim teams, enhance stroke techniques and stroke mechanics.

Emphasis is placed on proper body position on the front and back stroke, streamline body position, develop a strong Flutter, breaststroke and dolphin kick. This class is fast paced, fun and the participants will begin building strength and stamina while learning. Our goals are to improve on existing swimming skills and increase
endurance.

Pre-requisite:
Registration is open to individuals, ages 5½ to 18 years and must have completed the American Red Cross swimming ability equivalent to our Fish class. Participants must be able to perform the
freestyle and backstroke with some proficiency.
